Whether you're a group home with a few young people or a packed detention
facility, these detention center, day reporting, and group home resources
provide programs with a range of options which can be tailored to your specific
needs. Facilities interested in these programs would include halfway houses,
neighborhood centers, day reporting programs, group homes, and neighborhood
centers.

We provide several detention programs based on a selection of individual
lessons which can be delivered by direct custody staff, counselors, probation
officers, social workers, or other professionals. They are designed for both
"open group" detention and day reporting settings and one-on-one, and address
the key risk factors underlying gang involvement, substance abuse, and other
delinquency. These detention, diversion, or drug court models range from 15-30
program sessions. And, we have extensive detention center resources suitable for
longer gang intervention programs. They include detention resources based on
motivational interviewing/motivational enhancement (MI/MET) and
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) materials, relapse prevention resources,
skills building materials, and resource targeted toward girls and participants
who read Spanish. All materials have been developed in
a high interest, easy-reading format.

In addition, we provide detention, diversion, and drug court programs with a
set of gang intervention materials based on a series of videos, with
accompanying workbook activities. Other gang intervention resources include
materials designed to address vocational readiness, life skills, substance
abuse, aggression, violence, and anger management.

These detention center, group home, and day reporting program resources are
based on state-of-the-art evidence-based models. They include significant
elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement
therapy (MET), including specific tools for motivational interviewing (MI) in
each of the workbooks. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) promotes re-evaluation
of dysfunctional emotions and behaviors to bring about change. Motivational
enhancement therapy (MET) seeks to promote change by making the client aware of
problems and consequences of behavior. The motivational interviewing (MI) tools
we provide are non-confrontational and gently provoke awareness. We can work
with you to customize a detention center curriculum using cognitive-behavioral
therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET) techniques specifically
to the needs of your detention facility, group home, or day
reporting program. Contact us for
